AIRHUMIDOR.

Application filed. September 3, 1912. Serial No. 718,179.

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be itknown that I, JAMES W. RAHN, citizen of the United States, residingat Temple, in the county of Berks and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Air-Humidors,

of Which the following is a specification.

This invention relates toimprovements in air humidors and the object inthe present.

securing the device against displacement on the top of the radiator.

The device will insure the proper amount-- of moisture so that the airheated by the radiator will not be objectionably dry.

The invention is more fully described in the following specification andclearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which I Figure 1 isa side elevation of my device in position on the radiator, partly insection. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof, with a portion of the coverremoved. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 33 of Fig. 1.

The numeral 1 designates the body which is rectangular in form and 2 thecover therefor. The body is provided with a series of air tubes 3extending from front to rear, and through the front and rear verticalwalls, thus permitting a free circulationof air at all times. body Iattach a pair of longitudinal supportin legs 4 adapted to rest on thetop of the ra iator 5 and to keep the body free of contact. I I Alongthe under side of the body, at its center, I provide a guideway 6 .andin this guideway is located one or more slidably adjustable attachingdevices for securing the device to the radiator. The securing devicescomprise a flat body portion 7 adapted to slide in the uideway and apair of metal bands 8, of exible material, by means of which they may besecured to the upper ex- Onthe under side of the tremity of one of theradiator coils by bendmg the bands around a projection 9 on the radiatorcoil.

The cover 2 is made to fit loosely on the body port on and it is formedwith a series of perforations 10 to permit the exit of the molsture andalso with a relatively larger perforation or opening 11, near each end,to permit handling the cover while removing it.

It is evident that, when the body is filled or partly filled with waterand placed on the radiator, the moisture from the water will escapethrough the perforated cover and overcome the objectionable dryness ofthe atmosphere due to the heating action of the radiator, while the airtubes will permit a and tend to keep'its temperature reduced and preventtoo rapid evaporation.

The device is applicable to steam or hot water radiators, or it may bearranged for use on a heating stove.

It is evidentthat the construction illustrated may be modified withoutdeparting from the spirit of the invention and I do not desire to limitmyself to the'exact form and shape shown, but

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. Thecombination of a radiator comprising a seriesofvertical sections, withan air humidor-comprising a rectangular, 0blong body, a pair oflongitudinal supporting legs on its under side adapted to rest on theradiator sections, a central, longitudinal guideway on its under side, aplurality of slidably adjustable attaching devices, .each

of said devices comprising a flat b'ody portion located within theguideway and a pair of flexible, .metal. bands for securing the devicesto the tops of the radiator sections; and a coverfor the body, saidcover having a series of perforations, and .a hand engaging opening neareach end.
